MishTalk Website Moving to New Domain: Welcome to the Maven Group

A few months ago I was invited to move my website to TheMaven.Net/Mishtalk.

Giving up control of a domain is not an easy decision.

I did so because I like the Maven Team. I believe they will better promote the “Mish” brand than I can personally.

That’s a partial list of names as well as a partial list of accomplishments.

What’s In it for Me ?

Ultimately, I expect more ad income or I would not move.
I am also struggling to get readership up on Mish Moments, my photography website. I recon the Maven team can help.
